Hi All, Having a problem figuring out the logic of something here and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have 2 tables. First table holds a listing of all Provinces and States. Here a brief of what it looks like: value label AB Alberta BC British Columbia MB Manitobia NF Newfoundland NT Northwest Territories NS Nova Scotia Second Table is an OrderTable which holds all order and customer info including the province/state. The province/state is dumped from the "value" column of the ProvinceTable. Meaning.. an order record would show the province as "AB" or "NS" instead of "Alberta" or "Nova Scotia". I am creating an order report and in this report I want to display the LABEL name of the Province/State that relates to an the province column in the OrderTable. I could simply just display all provinces/states from the ProvinceTable but then there would be entries for selection that had NO orders. Any idea on this? Thanks guys! Aaron
